Quick Answer
When on the move, carry your night vision scopes in a secure, easily accessible location like a chest rig or a utility belt, with the scope facing down to prevent accidental activation. Use a protective case or pouch to prevent damage. This setup allows for quick deployment.
Slinging Options for Night Vision Scopes
When carrying a night vision scope on a rifle, consider using a one-point or two-point sling. A one-point sling attaches to a single point on the rifle, such as the scope or the forward grip, and allows for quick deployment. A two-point sling provides a more secure hold, attaching to two points on the rifle. This style is ideal for navigating dense terrain or climbing.
Chest Rigs for Night Vision Scopes
A chest rig is a versatile option for carrying a night vision scope while on the move. This setup typically includes multiple pouches for storing magazines, ammunition, and other essential items. Attach the night vision scope to the rig via a MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) system or a clip, ensuring secure and easy access. Aim to position the scope at a comfortable height, allowing for quick and easy deployment.
Utility Belts for Night Vision Scopes
A utility belt provides a more minimalist approach to carrying a night vision scope. This setup typically includes a single pouch or clip for storing the scope, along with other essential items like a knife or a flashlight. When choosing a utility belt, consider a design with multiple attachment points for additional gear. Aim to position the scope in a secure location, such as on the belt or on a side plate, to prevent accidental activation.
